Fortune cookies are wonderful little treats... they appear with the
check, signalling the end of a great (or not so great) meal. You burp,
think about what you're gonna do when you get home, and rip open that
crinkly package, parting the butt cheeks of the stale dough.
As with many traditions and paradigms, boredom sets in. Not for the
people who rip open the cookies, but for those who make them, day after
day. Below, you'll find real fortunes from my local providers: "Family
Buffet" and "Rainbow Buffet" (renamed from "Super Crown Buffet").
